Thanks for the reviews everyone! Now onto the story!
Harry Potter and the Mystery of the Five Jewels
Chapter Two: The Sacred Five Jewels
By the end of the day, everyone's energy was drained.
"Must... have... coffee..." Samantha moaned.
"No need! Just take our latest invention called: Hyper Hot-Peppers!" Fred said.
"Don't you give her ANY of THAT junk!" Mrs. Weasley scolded.
"It doesn't do anything! Just makes you hyper!" George said.
"That last comment wasn't necessary..." Fred whispered.
"NO!"
Fred and George rolled their eyes, but apparated back upstairs.
Samantha brewed a cup of coffee, and drank it black. She wasn't going to wait for the extra milk and cream.
"How do you do that?" Ginny asked, looking disgustedly at the black coffee. She hated black coffee. Samantha shrugged.
Outside, it was beautiful. Flowers were blossoming in the yard, (despite the gnomes,) there were sky-scraper tall trees and the grass was a healthy green. There was a flowery aroma in the yard. There was an oak table outside with a bench on each side, to eat at when there were a lot of people.
There were china plates set on the table with a vase with roses in it sitting in the middle. The smell of food filled the air.
"Dinner!" Mrs. Weasley called.
In a snap, everyone apparated to the yard.
"Why are you all apparating all of a sudden?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Too lazy to walk." Harry explained.
"Oh..."
They all sat down in a seat. There was one empty one at one end though. Sitting at the other end was Charlie.
It was quiet for the beginning part of the dinner, with the exception of the occasional, "Pass the mashed potatoes," or, "Pass the roast beef."
They soon heard a POP! From the driveway, and the gate to the backyard opened. There, stood a tired Mr. Weasley, holding a suitcase stuffed with papers.
"Hello," he said. He went inside the house to put the suitcase down, and he came outside again.
"Hey dad," Bill said.
Mr. Weasley didn't say a word.
"Arthur, are you okay?" Mrs. Weasley asked with concern.
"Yes, I'm just thinking," he replied.
"About what?"
"Just... Order business." Mr. Weasley replied curtly.
"What happened?" Harry suddenly asked. Everyone stared at him. "Sorry..." he murmured.
Mr. Weasley went on like Harry didn't say anything.
"There's something really bad happening now, but we don't know who's behind it." Mr. Weasley whispered to Mrs. Weasley, but Ginny heard it.
"What's happening?" Ginny asked, with a bit of fright in her voice.
"What do you mean?" Ron inquired.
"Dad said something really bad is happening!"
A huge outburst began, with most of the table asking about what the situation was. Bill, Charlie, and Mrs. Weasley tried to calm them down.
"SILENCE!" Mr. Weasley yelled, after his patience was dissolved. Everyone became silent.
"Tell-" Ron began.
"NO! It is none of your business, only members of the Order may know about this!" he answered.
Fred and George high-fived each other.
"What are you so happy about?" Ron muttered.
"We were just made members of the Order," George said as-a-matter-of- factly.
"WHAT?!" Samantha, Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny exclaimed simultaneously.
"Why?" Samantha asked.
"How?" Ron inquired.
"Well... we made this invention called Truth-Tellers. You slip them into someone's food, and immediately after they eat it, you can ask them any question, and they will tell you the truth. We are the only ones who know how to make them, and they're easier to make than Truth Serums. They're good for the Order. Also, we know Hogwarts the best, right?" Fred answered.
"The members of the Order were a little hesitant at first," George whispered to Harry. "But we finally convinced them."
They all stared in shock, but also in awe.
"Lucky ducks," Ginny murmured after dinner, as she, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Samantha were walking to the living room.
"Who's up for a game of chess?" Ron asked, totally changing the subject.
"Me!" Harry and Samantha said at the same time.
"Harry will play first, and Samantha will play the winner." Ron decided.
"Sure," Samantha replied. They started playing, while Samantha watched and Hermione and Ginny talked on the other side of the room.
Ron easily won the match against Harry, and then Samantha started playing.
"You're not going to win this match as easily as you beat him." Samantha said with a grin.
"Oh yeah? Try me." Ron replied.
In the end, Samantha just barely won.
"What? How could my strategy be defeated?" Ron exclaimed.
"Because you moved your queen to the left, which you should have moved to the right, because you could've checkmated me that way." Samantha answered.
Ron thought about it for a moment, and he sighed. "You're right," he replied.
All of them just hung out, relaxing, talking, playing games, arguing, everything you could imagine, until Mr. Weasley interrupted their relaxation.
"Out! We have an Order meeting." He announced.
"But- why here?" Hermione asked.
"We can't go to Grimmald Place- Lupin came back from there and he says Mrs. Black is having a fit." Mr. Weasley explained.
"Lupin's here?" Harry asked excitedly.
"Yes, and the rest of the Order." He replied.
"Including Snape?" Ginny groaned.
"Yes," he impatiently replied.
"To think that Snape would ever even think of setting foot in this house..." Ron muttered to Harry.
They all pleaded to stay, but Mr. Weasley ordered them to go to their rooms until the meeting was over.
"Haha," Fred teased.
"Suckers!" George replied.
"Shut up-" Ron started.
They slammed the door shut, as Mrs. Weasley put a sound proof charm on it.
"Shoot." Ginny complained.
"Why can't we know what's going on?" Ron whined.
"Because even if we are of age, we're not part of the Order, and it's none of our business!" Hermione replied.
"It's Harry's business! He deserves to know what's going on!" Ron retorted.
"But they're not telling us for our own good!" Hermione protested.
"You sound just like my mother." Ron murmured.
Hermione sighed and rolled her eyes. She went up to her room with Samantha and Ginny. Ron and Harry went to their room.
Before Samantha went into her room, a thought struck her.
"Wait guys." She said. Everyone stopped.
"What?" Ron asked.
"I think I know a way to listen to the meeting..."
In the Weasley's Living Room...
All the members of the Order were in the Weasley Living Room, each sitting in a chair in a circle around the room.
"Now, on to business. Everyone's here, correct?" Mr. Weasley started. Mrs. Weasley, the attendance monitor nodded. "With the exception of Dumbledore, who couldn't make it today."
"Who are the guarders of the Sacred Five Jewels, Remus? We couldn't go over that last time." Mr. Weasley asked.
"Nymphadora-" Lupin started.
"Tonks," Tonks corrected.
"Whatever... Tonks and I found out that the guarders are Samara Sapphire, Rachel Ruby, Emily Emerald, Tanya Topaz, and Diana Diamond. If He got hold of all Five of the Jewels, then he will have full power over the world and the five elements, that can destroy the world, and that can throw off the dimentions of the universe, but that's a different story." Lupin recited. "They are the five guarders. They each guard the jewel that their last name is. Like Samara guards the Sapphire, Rachel guards the Ruby, and so forth."
"They're also the goddesses of the five elements: Samara is the goddess of Water, Rachel, of Fire, Emily, of Earth, Tanya, of Lightning, and Diana, Wind." Tonks explained.
"So they're not just regular jewels?" Dedalus Diggle asked.
"Correct." Lupin replied.
"Wait a minute... we don't know where they are located!" Moody said suspiciously.
"We got that covered too, but just a bit. We know that it's located in a pyramid in Egypt, but that's all." Tonks replied. "But there's a problem..."
"What?" the entire Order inquired at once.
"There is no known way to get into the pyramid." Lupin answered. "But we know that He will find a way into it, even if it goes to killing thousands of people."
"And these jewels do what...?" asked Elphias Doge, who was absent the previous meeting.
"They control the five elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, and Wind. The guarders are the people who control them. They keep the world balanced. If one is too strong, or one, too weak, than the whole world may fall apart." Lupin answered.
"This is really serious." Doge replied, thinking deeply.
CRACK!
"Ron!"
"Shut up, Ginny!"
"They already heard us!"
They heard a POP! And then there was silence.
"Molly, can you go check what the kids are doing?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"Sure I can," Mrs. Weasley replied, getting ready to explode.
In Ron's room...
"Nice job Ron-" Ginny started.
"It's not my fault!" Ron protested.
"Just shut up! Your mum is coming!" Samantha hissed, as she put a hard covered book away.
They pretended to play a game, before Mrs. Weasley came in.
"What were you doing?!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed.
"Nothing, just playing a game." Ron said, trying to act innocent. Mrs. Weasley saw right through him.
"We heard you downstairs! Do you have ANY idea how important it is to have these meetings? Distracting the Order will get in the way! And you're not supposed to be listening!" Mrs. Weasley screamed.
"But mum..." Ginny started.
"No buts! Now, you stay here the rest of the night, and if we hear you again, there will be major punishment!" Mrs. Weasley said strictly.
She slammed Ron's door, and there was a silence.
"Well... it ALMOST worked. That's a neat book, Samantha." Ginny said.
"Thanks," Samantha replied.
"Where did you get it?" she asked.
"My parents told me that it was my father's prized possession. He had it since he attended Salem, and brought it with him when he was transferred to Hogwarts." Samantha replied.
"Ohh..." Ginny replied.
The book was used to see locations of any part of the world that the owner knew the name of. If the people in the room were talking, the sound wouldn't be too great, so there is a button to teleport the owner to the room, but with an invisibility charm on the owner. When the owner wanted to go back to where they first opened the book that day, then she would snap three times, and it would pop the owner back.
Ron had stepped on a paper bag that was lying on the ground, which everyone heard.
"Well, at least we know what is going on!" Harry replied.
"The Five Jewels... I think I've read about them in a book," Hermione said in deep thought.
"Figures," Ron muttered. Harry snorted.
"They said everything that the Order mentioned," Hermione said, like Ron didn't say anything at all.
"There isn't anything else that the book mentioned that the Order didn't?" Samantha inquired.
"Nope... well actually... they did say that the Five Jewels were located at different sources in the pyramid, so no one could find all of them at once." Hermione replied.
"Ohh..." Harry answered.
There was a long silence, because everyone was pondering about the Five Jewels.
"The meeting is over," Mrs. Weasley announced. "You can come downstairs now."
Everyone sighed, and they slowly went downstairs. By the time they were downstairs, the whole Order was gone.
"Ron, Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and Samantha- I need to talk to you for a second." Mr. Weasley ordered. The teenagers meekly obeyed.
Mr. Weasley dragged them to a place earshot from the others.
"You heard about what's happening, correct?" he asked.
They all nodded.
"You must swear not to tell anyone what you know. Do you promise not to tell?" he asked.
"Yes." They all said simultaneously.
"You promise? Because if you tell ANYONE, then you're risking the sake of the whole world. Maybe even more." Mr. Weasley said in a dead serious voice.
They nodded weakly, and they skittered back to their rooms.
Harry and Ron got changed in their PJ's, and they got into their beds. They turned off Ron's lamp.
"What do you think will happen?" Ron inquired.
"About what?" Harry asked.
"You know."
"What?"
"The Five Jewels!"
"What about it?"
"Do you think that You-Know-Who will get hold of it and or something?"
"I don't know, Harry. Maybe he will, maybe he won't."
"But if he does... then I have two words for us...we're screwed."
"So true..."
There was a knock at their door.
"Come in." Ron called.
It was Hermione.
"Hey Hermione," Ron said. "What's up?"
"I dunno... I was thinking, and I realized that this is our last year." Hermione replied quietly. "I mean, I'm going to miss Hogwarts."
It finally hit Harry like a brick wall.
"You're right..." Harry said.
"When is Hermione ever wrong?" Ron snorted. "But seriously, I'm going to miss Hogwarts too."
"Same." Harry replied.
"You know... Samantha isn't the only person that is exchanging from a different school." Hermione pointed out, changing the subject.
"Really?" Ron and Harry asked simultaneously.
"Yes, there are students from Beauxbatons, Salem, and Durmstrang." Hermione replied.
"Oh..."
"Well... I have to go to bed. Goodnight." Hermione said with a smile. Her best friends said goodnight, and she left.
Everyone in the house soon fell asleep, pondering about the Five Jewels.
Meanwhile... in the Riddle Mansion...
A flickering fire was lit into the fireplace of the Riddle Mansion. A large chair was set in front of it, and in it, the plotting enemy.
"Master? Are you sure this is going to work?" a small voice asked.
"Yes, Wormtail, now stop interrupting me!"
"Are you thinking, Master?"
"YES! Now shut up!"
The Master had been plotting of a plan all night... and he finally thought of one to get the Five Jewels.
